74 APPENDIX. 



have frequently been indebted for much valuable material from tho 

 remote rocks, and to whom I have great pleasure in now dedicati 

 this interesting addition to the Atlantic fauna. 



Genus SCOP^US. 

 Erichson, Gen. et Spec. Staph. 604 (1839). 



Scopseus subopacus. 



S. angustus, nigro-pieeus, subopacus ; capite prothoraceque dense 

 alutaeeis, fere pilis carentibus, illo subrotundato-quadrato ; elytris 

 crebre et minute punctulatis ac pilis brevibus demissis cinereis 

 vestitis ; antennis rufo-testaceis, apicem versus fuscescentibus ; 

 pedibus infuscate testaceis. Long. corp. lin. 1^. 



Scopasus subopacus, WolL, Ann. Nat. Hist. vi. 103 (1860). 



Habitat Maderam, sub recremento ad basin acervorum fceni sparso 

 Dom. Bewicke in intermediis semel tantum captus. 



Genus TROGOPHLCEUS. 



Mannerheim, Brachel. 49 (1831). 



Trogophlceus oculatus, n. sp. 



T. angustulus, niger vel piceo-niger, subnitidus, subtiliter cinereo- 

 pubescens ; capite prothoraceque minute et sat crebre punctulatis, 

 oculis magnis prominentibus usque ad basin illius postice ductis, 

 hoc in disco postico utrinque longitudinaliter biimpresso ; elytris 

 breviusculis, subpicescentioribus, paulo distinctius punctatis ; an- 

 tennis pedibusque breviusculis, iUis piceo-, ad basin pedibusque 

 rufo-testaceis. Long. corp. lin. lj-1^. 



Trogophloeus bilineatus, Woll. [nee Erich.'], Cat. Can. Col. 599 (1864). 

 Habitat in Canaria Grandi et Teneriffa, rarissimus. 



Obs. Species T. bilineato affinis sed vix minor, angustior, sub- 

 picescentior ac paulo subtilius punctulatus, oculis multo majoribus, 

 usque ad capitis basin ipsam postice continuatis, elytris brevioribus 

 necnon antennis pedibusque sensim pallidioribus. 



A Canarian Trogophloeus of which I have seen as yet but two 

 examples, one having been taken by myself (in the region of El 

 Monte) in Grand Canary and the other by the Messrs. Crotch in 

 Teneriffe. In my late Catalogue I cited it as the T. bilineatus of 

 Erichson, but I am informed by Messrs. Rye and Waterhouse that it 

 cannot be identified with that species ; and, indeed, a more critical 

 comparison of it with a type of the bilineatus, which has been com- 

 municated by the latter, has quite satisfied me that such is the case.
